I've got some reasonable emacs-fu, and I know how to use the Flash Builder IDE to work in Flex/Actionscript, but I'd like to move to using Emacs to do most of my coding instead of the flash builder. This poses some problems, though, namely that I'm not sure how to go about compiling my flex project from the fcsh-mode command line. Here...
Hello, I got a Problem with a Movie Clip I add to the Stage in Flash CS4/AS3. The Flash File consist of two MovieClips, "Inside" and "Outside".

How do I remake my swf for xml commands? "Remake" sounds silly, but I just want to have integer values updated by an XML file. This may be beyond my understanding. I'd like an example, a mash-up, or method I can work from. myThoughts - It needs to read XML "parse it etc" - variables receive e:data instead "my struggle with passing value...
I created an AS3 preloader, and placed the code for that on frame one. I then made a symbol, and placed it in the library. It was set to NOT export on frame 1, and the fla's settings had all classes exported on frame two. There were no references to the object until frame two. Then, flash crashed whenever I compiled without the "Expor...
Hi there, Very simple question. Take a look at the code below. It's a very simple loader with a progress bar. The progress bar is a symbol on the stage called "bar".

I'm converting an old AS2 file into AS3 (and trying to learn AS3 at the same time). A movie clip contains a number of different animated sequences and buttons within the application trigger these different sequences. The buttons are functional only when an animation has completed playing. In AS2, I achieved this with a var called _root....
I'd like to load and onload mc's on the stage when certain buttons are pressed. The catch is that whilst one of the mc's is playing I dont want any of the buttons to work -- in other words the user has to wait for the short anim to stop playing before they press another button to see another anim (or even the same anim again). I'm OK w...

Works great with the exception that it clips some text and creates some funny diagonal lines and some poor picture quality. I have a feeling that this is down to a slight difference in sizing some where along...
